Current unit: Dynamics (Forces) in 2D
- Physics 12 Attendance
- Sit where you want
- If you are not here when the bell goes, you are late (exception: doing announcements)
- Write your name on the sheet when leaving the class
- No leaving the class with your friend(s)
- Review homework: Worksheet – Modelling Friction in 2D
- Worksheet Solutions – Modelling Friction in 2D
- Friday, Apr. 24: due date for final individual assignment (no quiz) on modelling motion using Excel
- Whiteboards – solve tip for drum problem
- Using Excel
- Get computer from room 370
- Graph force needed to tip and slip from theta is 0 to 360
- Advanced: use deltaTheta variable
- Deadfall Trap Project
- Make sure you have submitted your hypothesis and procedures
- Include reasoning (physics) behind your hypothesis
- Not many groups found the centres of mass of the objects
- Your analysis of the data must include static equilibrium
- Averaging: ideally 10+ trials, acceptably 5+ trials, talk with Mr. Renwick if you can only do 1-4 trials
- Assessing the lab – will post Deadfall Trap Project Part 2 tomorrow
- Planning and conducting: collecting data
- Processing and analyzing data and information: must include free body diagrams with static equilibrium calculations
- Evaluating: sources of error
- Questioning and predicting: generating 2 new hypotheses based on your results
- Applying and innovating: finding real-world applications for your results and/or new hypotheses
- After talking with Mr. Renwick, start to prepare to run the experiment
- Work days today, tomorrow, and next 2 weeks
- Due date: Friday, May 1
- Make sure you have submitted your hypothesis and procedures
- Wrap-up
- Period 3: put up chairs
